New Owlet Baby Monitor Review (Smart Sock 2) - Worth It? 

Anna Judd what happened??

How?

How?

My son was sleeping and he’s stopped breathing and the sock alerted me so I ran to the bedroom where he was sleeping and performed cpr!

Wow. Thanks for sharing that.

Thank you so much for this reply. I am a paediatrician and was about to reply the same thing. The settings should not be adjusted, it would cause a lot of false alarms.

Thank you

As a medical professional, would you recommend parents buy this or steer clear?

As a NICU RN I totally agree with this comment!

My son was born at 28 weeks and in the nicu for 64 days and I use the owlet and the nicu nurses all told me the same thing that this nicu nurse is saying

thank you michelle...keep posting this story; pediatricians/nurses often say not necessary, but it is better safe than sorry when it comes to our kids. Very difficult for clinicians to catch any kind of cardiac pathology that is ischemic, or "not happening all the time." They only check the kiddos for a moment in the office. What about the other 99.9% of the time? It has saved us a little one too. So worth it!

Poor baby!!! Glad you trusted your gut! I have the same condition. My highest heart rate on record was 238....I had no symptoms, i felt totally normal, but heart monitor tech told me to go to ER just in case. 6 hours later I'm being airlifted to a different hospital for emergency surgery after falling into v-tach patterns. Definitely investing in this owlet monitor for my little one, god forbid he also has heart issues.

So good to hear this story. Thank you for sharing. I'm thinking about buying one

Wow that's incredible, i trust your grandson is well. Stories like this often make me wonder how my parents and other older parents coped without stuff like this. We are expecting in April. Till i can afford a nanit, going to stick with the Owlet. p.s. great video @Dadverb

My friend has that ans shes had an attack (not sure if that's the right wording or not) while I was with her and it was terrifying. I'm so glad your grandson is okay❤

After three days the app screws up and we get sock placement alarms. I restrapped three times in an hour to the point his foot had red marks where the edges were digging in. Be glad you didn't get our piece of crap

Mine was loose on my preemie, but a sock over it held it in place once she hit 5 lbs!

Thinking of getting for my grandson, would I need to purchase the camera as well? Or just the sock?

Josie Sanchez you can just purchase the sock and base! The camera isn’t necessary for the device to work.

Heather Steinmetz thank u so much.

i’m confused…so how do you use it correctly and monitor the baby if you’re not connected to wifi..? you actually DO need wifi to use it, idk why you said you didn’t

So very sorry for your loss.

:(

So sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss, i did too lost my two month old son to Sids 11 years ago but still feels like it was just yesterday and i still ask myself if there was something we could of done 😢

I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t even imagine.

I am going to copy the NICU nurse's comment here as a reply to that. Being a paediatrician I completely agree with this: 'the reason that the levels are set the way they are is because it is normal for newborns to fluctuate during the day , babies do this all the time and most kids are on monitor so you would never know, yes in oxygen saturation of 80 is very low but the reason it said there is so that you know when the baby is at that level something is actually wrong , if it was set any higher than that it would be going off all the time because babies drop down all the time when they cough when they have reflux when they bear down , what matters is that they come back up on their own. The owl that will monitor you if it gets to a dangerous level that gives you plenty of time to perform this lifesaving measures. And yes a heart rate of 70 is very low for an infant however they have moments again where their heart rate will fluctuate to 90s and you don’t want them set there because then you would be alarming all the time, it is very normal for newborns and babies to fluctuate heart rate and oxygen levels that I’ll let is set to let you know when there’s an actual problem that’s the reason that the parameters are set where they are . I can tell you from working in the nicu, when babies have a vagal response due to acid reflex or cough their heart rates can drop pretty low and we’re not doing CPR because they come back up on their own . The owlet will let you know if they have gotten to a level that you need to be concerned about , and prevent you from running in there for normal newborn fluctuations'

@@aradonlover as a pediatrician "in practice" are you not allowed legally to recommend these devices. I ask because around 2n half months my daughter had her first choking event. She went completely limp. It took forever for 911 we were admitted. It didn't happen again. THERE. She got a full workup. Since then we have had an insaine amout of events. Some she can't make a noise and the bulb to the throat is the onky thing that works and it takes a lot of work. I am a single mom. With little help. I have a anxietu hx documented in bby Chart. Now. Ive never been able to video as it is an all out emergency but I have lived in the terror of it happening with my head turned or asleep next to her crib. She sees gi specialists from mass gen and everyone is aware. Yet when i beg for med monitor im denied and reassured im doing great job it will get better. Yet no one will say yes it can't hurt to try this or any. Not a name monitor. "It creates anxiety" i was a nurse i know to assess my baby physically of im getting a alert. But with our situation getting so extreme yet not qualifying. Idk why for med mon. Why wouldn't they say. Ahh couldn't hurt. Her gen ped gives me amd tells me off the record stuff "all the time". I have been listening to them. But I can't even do a load of dishes with her in a safe zone behind .e for fear. I won't hear a cry for help? If its a rule ill know amd im ordering now. Im starting to pass out and sleep thru wake times when she is just in crib. Do idk. People need to sleep. At my wits end. I was gonna get snuza hero but wanted something to tell me she is struggling. She jerks allot when it happens I was afraid it would only tell me.after she wasn't breathing. Maybe I should have just done it. I will mever rest. We had our longest period. 5 weeks not even "struggle I call it" where she can get a breath or squeak occasionally during" then bam. Full on . No noise. I turned around she was fighting with that panic that crushes your soul. Are they taking me seriously enough

Your a great mom. Congratulations.

@No need for that what degree do you have? I highly doubt she meant it dropped once amd were coding. Now thats dumb. "Thinking she meant that". I am an RN not a nicu or peds but those nurses are Highly highly trained. And the jobs are coveted. So straight from nursing school. Not likely in peds. "Dumb ones would never make it to that specialty". But dumb people can't think futher than the exact words typed on tye page

@No need for that oops haha obv was not replying to you. Lost my cool with above

@No need for that please see my comment under the one below you. Aparantly I am dumb as well and replied to wrong person.

Rebekah Statkun I was thinking of getting this for my baby she was born at 36 weeks weigh in 4lbs 11oz and has trouble breathing, She got released from the hospital and is still on oxygen she’s been on oxygen and a monitor for three weeks now but I want this for when she gets off the oxygen so I can have peace of mind

lyanna lyanna is the alarm high and loud?

yes red alarm is high and loud when heart rate or oxygenation is bad but blue alarm and yellow its owlet song...im definietely recommending it to every parent is a great device..

Meera N do it

You're very welcome.

Kenny Mathiesen THANK YOU for posting this!!!!!!! My son is now 16 months old and I couldn’t imagine how stressed I would’ve been if I had gotten this product. I was already extremely anxious since I had a miscarriage and was convinced my son was going to die if I wasn’t next to him. Constantly being able to check his heartbeat, breathing, etc would’ve driven me INSANE.

Some did and some died. Not all babies due from SIDS obviously, the item is to give you piece of mind incase your child happens to be an unlucky victim of SIDS. A friend of mines baby just died from SIDS two months ago, despite that so many other peoples baby didnt die, hers still did. No way of knowing at all if you'll be the next victim or not, better safe than sorry

Yeah, my mom (mother of soon-to-be 7) Said as long as your baby is healthy you really don't have much to worry about, especially if you co sleep or have a bedside bassinet. (She co-slept with all of us)

That’s easy to say if you’ve never had a healthy baby die from SIDS. The life-changing heartache experienced by the few is enough to keep me from taking a risk. Any life saved is worth it.

In the 1800's there was an almost 50% infant mortality rate. Now there is a 0.5% infant mortality rate. innovations like this no doubt contribute to this reduced infant mortality rate. To state "how did babies survive before all this stuff" .. well.. they didn't, almost 50% of them didn't. It is important to be prudent and understand the risks to your baby because ignorance of these often preventable risks is what is responsible for a large number of infant deaths that we do see nowadays and you can bet these poor mothers were unaware because some ignorant person told them not to worry about anything. We absolutely should consider all risks and respond accordingly and give our little ones the best chance possible, failure to do this is literally the cause of many of the infant mortality's we see today.

Rebecca Cross Same!!! I have to check out your video though!

Did you guys ever have a baby?

@@jslack8973 yes we did! She was born January this year :)

They told me 6 months.

I'm so sorry for your lost 💜🧡💚💛

I'm sorry for your loss. He's safe, warm, and loved in Heaven ❤️

where did you get the deal?

Someone take this person phone away lmbo

How was it?

Liz Falk no, you’ll need to not put it on night mode because that’s what silences your phone alerts.

Lacey Olsen I hate the snuza. It constantly falls off and isn't compatible with cloth diapers

​@@BeTheChange5276 What do you think about MonBaby? I`m using it for a half a year, seems it works perfectly.

I also want to know if we can use it for twins. Wonder if you can buy a second sock and use the same base and app.

Really late but yes you can!

That's quite a scare for any parent indeed. Thank you for taking the time to share your story. Any family who ends up buying Owlet would most certainly benefit.

You sure your mom wasn't seeing the Moro Reflex? Were you blue in the face or something?

But is it for babies?

Not Sense-U but Nanit Pro is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wY0u_x55SPs.html

I was actually in contact with one rep from iBaby recently but time got away from me. I've been testing the Arlo Baby lately and will release that review soon since that retails at a similar price point. I can try reaching out to iBaby again and seeing what we can do.

Mostly the shape of the sock was greatly improved with the 2nd gen.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Owlet. Very helpful 👍

Sorry for the slow response. Yes, your phone will alert you and rings whenever the base senses an issue.

Same for us. The fact that they don't send a premie sock is ridiculous. That's when you need them MOST!

No
